Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Equipment

  • Large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan
  • tongs
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • Spoon
  • measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
  3. When the oil is shimmering, add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until a deep, golden-brown crust forms.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the pan. Tilt the pan and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
  6. In the same pan, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  7. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  8. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  9. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
  10. Serve the steaks warm, drizzled with the creamy garlic sauce.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality ribeye steaks and be sure to sear them properly to achieve a flavorful crust. The creamy garlic sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
